ENSURING BOISE’S NEIGHBORHOODS ARE VIBRANT + UNIQUE

In 2014, the City of Boise partnered with residents and commu-nity leaders on the ENERGIZE OUR NEIGHBORHOODS initiative, aimed at celebrating neighborhoods and improving livability. With three main goals and eight focus areas at the helm, the partners got to work in the Vista neighborhood.

In three short years, we are proud to share that not only is En-ergize Our Neighborhoods a nationally recognized program, but that together we have surpassed expectations in what we set out to accomplish. As we move on to the next neighborhoods, we are excited to reflect on the impact made in the Vista neighborhood. Learn more by visiting EnergizeOurNeighborhoods.org.

Coming together as a community for the greater good of our city is at the heart of Energize Our Neighborhoods, and we couldn’t be more excited to roll up our sleeves and start working on our next neighborhoods!

BOISE’S NEIGHBORHOODS

BOISE NEIGHBORHOOD INTERACTIVEOn October 14, 2017, over 100 residents from throughout the city gathered for the first annual BOISE NEIGHBORHOOD INTERACTIVE, a full-day conference designed to engage residents in the topics most im-portant to Boise’s neighborhoods and culture. The keynote address was presented by former City of Seattle Mayor Norm Rice. Participants had an opportunity to engage with local elected leaders and discuss strate-gies for developing strong neighborhood leadership.

The event featured 13 workshops, led by 42 speakers. Topics included:

• Building the City: An Introduction to Development in Boise

• Growing Your Community Through Volunteers

• Nurturing Vibrant Neighborhoods Through Public Art

• Open Space and Community Gardens

Neighborhood leaders facilitated three roundtable discussions that covered neighborhood association leadership, how to host great neighborhood gatherings and how neighborhoods work to collaborate.

City of Boise Mayor David Bieter recognized the commitment of those attending, “By being part of the Boise Neighborhood Interactive, you are helping us identify opportunities to align resources, make measurable

change and create more vibrant and connect-ed neighborhoods. Your work to improve your neighborhood puts you on the front lines of our efforts to make Boise the most livable city in the country.”

This event would not have been possible without the dedication of many neighborhood leaders who came together to identify top-ics, speakers, and plan the flow of the day. To everyone who offered their support – THANK YOU!

LOOKING FORWARDThe next Boise Neighborhood Interactive is scheduled for Feburary 16, 2019. Are you interested in volunteering or presenting a workshop? Look for more information on the City of Boise’s social media sites and EnergizeOurNeighborhoods.org.

NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION UPDATEresidents during an emergency situation. The public outreach serves as a great example of community benefit through the One City: One Team response to residents requests.

Neighborhood Association Changes• Depot Bench (DBNA) initiated conversa-

tions with Southeast (SENA) to integrate a section of SENA into DBNA. The segment is located above the bench, north of Fed-eral Way.

• North West Neighborhood reinvigorated.

• Sunrise Rim suspended activity and merged with Vista Neighborhood.

• Veterans Park Neighborhood (VPNA) separated and now encompasses the northwest sections of the former VPNA.

• West End Neighborhood formed from the southeast section of Veterans Park.

• West Downtown Neighborhood reinvigo-rated.

Milestone Neighborhood Activities• Central Bench and East End initiated

neighborhood plans, which will be com-pleted and presented to Council for adop-tion into Blueprint Boise during Fall, 2018.

• Morris Hill completed its Historic Homes Tour brochure (2013 NRG).

• Boise’s Geographical Area Planners attend-ed 40 neighborhood association meetings.

City neighborhood associations rolled forward with strength during 2017. Neighborhood association volunteers contributed nearly 2,000 volun-teer hours toward making Boise “the most livable city in the country”.

Boise Neighborhood Associations Network (BNAN)This year, a dozen neighborhood associations worked together to create the Boise Neighborhoods Associations Network. The group was formed to share information and knowledge, support one another and work to speak with a larger, collective voice, to become more effective in advo-cating for neighborhoods and to develop community leaders. The group may also hold candidate forums for City Council, ACHD Commission and Ada County Commission to enhance citizen participation. The group will consider issues of broad neighborhood significance such as historic districts, ACHD policy and roadway network design and working with local school districts in school siting and design, etc.

Boise Bike Boulevard Coalition (BBBC)Rob Mason, Vice-President of the Sunset Neighborhood Association, invited Boise’s neighborhood associations to cooperate in designing a connected low-stress bike network. The Coalition presented their design proposal to the ACHD Commission, which delayed adoption of their Roadways-to-Bikeways Plan until the coalition’s recommendations could be integrated into the plan and the BBBC plan adopted. The BBBC will continue to work with ACHD and the city to secure funding for infra-structure and street designs to create the low-stress bike network.

Wildland – Urban Interface (WUI)In response to requests from foothills neighborhoods throughout 2017, a City team (Boise Fire, Boise Police, Planning and Development Services, Ridge to Rivers, Foothills Manager, Code Compliance and Energize) will meet with WUI neighborhoods to discuss standard emergency evacu-ation procedures; how to improve neighborhood and first responder communications during an emergency; and to consider a block-to-block communication prototype that neighborhoods could implement to alert

BOISE’S NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS

Annual Investment in NeighborhoodsDid you know that the city invests annually in neighborhoods? Through the NEIGHBORHOOD INVESTMENT PROGRAM, over $7.6 million has been allocated to fund neighborhood projects since 1994.

Neighborhood associations are invited to submit their projects on a yearly basis; the application period is open Nov. 1 – Jan. 31, with project awards announced in July.

The program funds comprehensive neighborhood plans and capital construction projects to help enrich the lives of our residents, enhance the identity and quality of life in our neighborhoods and encourage a strong sense of community. Neighborhood input is a valued aspect of the program. Active neighborhood associations are invited to generate ideas for Neighborhood Investment projects. The program is competitive and awards are limited by available funding.

In 2017, the City of Boise invested $600,000 in 14 neighborhoods. Projects ranged from bike repair stations in the Sunset and Veteran’s Park neighborhoods to traffic box art in Vista and the West Bench. Photo courtesy of Boise City Department of Arts & History, Stratigraphy by Jacob Diaz

NEIGHBORHOOD TOOLKIT

The ENERGIZE OUR NEIGHBORHOODS TOOLKIT is designed to facilitate community engagement, provide easy access to available resources, and offer opportunities to learn more about workshops, neighborhood events, leadership development, and improving livabil-ity in Boise.

In response to feedback from the City’s recog-nized Neighborhood Associations, a resource was developed specifically to offer guidance

and support to associations as they establish, grow, sustain, and impact their communities. The Neighborhood Association Toolkit is avail-able online at EnergizeOurNeighborhoods.org/Toolkit, or a printed copy can be request-ed by emailing [email protected].

Resources will continue to be added, so be sure to visit EnergizeOurNeighborhoods.org to see what’s new!

NEIGHBORHOOD TOURSThe City of Boise began an ongoing series of neighborhood tours called EXPLORING BOISE’S BOUNDARIES. The series started with five downtown tours. Each tour started and ended at a local gathering spot. The tours were led by teams from city departments, includ-ing Arts & History, Planning & Development Services, the Energize Our Neighborhood team and Public Works. They highlighted historic places and stories, public art, development trends and sustainability initiatives in each area, as well as interviewed local stakeholders.

2017 Tours• Cultural and Warehouse District

• Old Boise and Eastside Neighborhood

• Central Addition LIV District

• River Street Neighborhood

ENERGIZE OUR NEIGHBORHOODS ANNUAL REPORT | 7

In 2015, the City of Boise, along with public and private part-ners, embarked on an innovative approach to address early childhood education gaps in our community. At the onset, data was used to help inform the program’s structure and focus. Using the data as guideposts, the city and partners launched the BOISE PRE-K PROJECT for 80 income-qual-ified preschoolers at Whitney and Hawthorne elementary schools. The project goals were to:

• Reduce achievement gaps for incoming kindergartners

• Follow participants through 3rd grade to assess the investment’s impact

• Enhance neighborhood livability through education investments

• Use project results to spark discussions about investing in early childhood education

“I can confidently say that without this program, my children would not have been ready for kindergarten.”

The City of Boise and the Boise School District recently shared results detailing the success of the first two years of the program. The data shows the program has a significant impact on children’s readiness to enter kindergarten. In fact, in the fall of 2016, more than 86 percent of the children en-rolled in the program scored at or above benchmark scores on the Idaho Reading Indicator, compared to just 53 percent of their peers not enrolled in the program.

THE VISTA NEIGHBORHOOD

Vista Avenue is a five-lane corridor that runs through the heart of the Vista Neighborhood, from I-84 to Capitol Blvd. It is the gateway to Idaho’s Treasure Valley, welcoming both commuters and travelers from the Boise Airport alike.

The City of Boise received a $50,000 grant from Togeth-er Treasure Valley, which was matched by $70,000 of the city‘s Community Development Block Grant and Percent for Art funds, to bring a significant piece of gateway art to the median on Vista Ave. The City of Boise, in partnership with Together Treasure Valley and the Vista Neighborhood, placed an open call-to-artists for sculptural artwork to be placed in two medians on Vista Avenue. The artwork will go in the medians between Targee and Sunrise Rim.

Mayor David Bieter and Dr. Don Coberly, Superintendent of Boise School District, meet with students in the Pre-K program.

Feedback from parents speaks volumes about the program’s benefits. One parent said:

“I feel very blessed to have had two children go through the Pre-K program. . . Neither of my children could accu-rately say or recognize their ABC’s when they entered the program and had only socialized with each other, for the most part. By the time they graduated the program, they not only knew their ABC’s, but they associated sounds and how to spell words. Among all the great things taught in the program, [my children] learned how to sit still during story time and follow directions, make friends . . . and how to treat each other with love and kindness. I can confidently say that without this program, my children would not have been ready for kindergarten.”

BOISE’S PRE-K PROJECT

VISTA AVENUE MEDIAN ART

Energize Our Neighborhoods worked with residents and community partners to identify challenges associated with Vista Avenue. Due to high traffic volume and limited cultural opportunities, the area along Vista Avenue lacks a sense of place and has lost its historic neighborhood character.

Public art has the power to change the perception along Vista Avenue. The Urban Land Institute’s “Building Healthy Corridors” project examined the Vista Avenue corridor and identified improvements to art and placemaking as key op-portunities. The Western States Arts Federation’s “Cultural Vitality Index” rated cultural facilities and public art as the top concern among their indicators in the area. Construction is expected to begin in 2019.

THE VISTA NEIGHBORHOOD

THANK YOUThe Atlantic Idea House was made possible by these generous donors:

A Model Home for a Better FutureWhen the City of Boise acquired a house on the 2100 block of Atlantic Street in the Vista neighborhood, it quickly decided to make the home part of its Energize Our Neighborhoods initiative.

Known as the “Atlantic Idea House”, this residential home was upgraded with sustainable and energy efficient features in mind and was used as an education tool to demonstrate energy efficiency and sustainable practic-es for homes in the community.

The home’s energy-efficient features included all-new foam insulation, triple-pane windows, and a ductless heat pump system. While these upgrades were more expensive, they boosted the energy efficiency of the house. Other energy conservation items included LED lights, weather stripping, energy-saving blinds, a solar tube, and energy star appliances.

To conserve water, the city installed low-flow fixtures and incorporated water saving ideas into the landscaping, including low-water plantings, mulch, drip irrigation, and a rain barrel.

Onsite crews were mindful of indoor air quality and used low volatile or-ganic compound (VOC) products and installed a radon mitigation system. Whenever possible, the city used sustainable materials and practices, including cork flooring, granite remnant counter tops, tiles and laminate made from recycled content, a patio made from old concrete pieces, locally hand-painted kitchen cabinet knobs, and refinished the existing hardwood floors.

To showcase improvements and encourage homeowners to take similar steps toward making their home more energy efficient, the city hosted open houses and tours where community members learned how they can implement one or several of these changes to save energy, money and the environment. With the Atlantic Idea House, the City of Boise empow-ered area neighbors and the community to see first-hand what is possible for improved energy efficiency.

Ustick Townsite Beautification ProjectThe USTICK TOWNSITE BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT was funded through the Neighborhood Investment Program in 2017. The West Valley Neighborhood Association had a specific vision that included “a re-birth of this once thriv-ing community by working with Boise City and community partners to re-create a pedestrian friendly neighborhood in which West Boise residents can once again connect and commune. Our vision includes trees, landscaping, historical street lamps, sculpture and artwork that will soften the area to make it a pleasant place to walk and bicycle. We also envision a welcoming place with shops that are within easy walking distance and historical interpretative signage to educate the public about the townsite of Ustick.”

Learn more about the project at usticktownsite.org.
